Arranging Transportation is one of the most important tasks for senior care. According to the National Aging and Disability Transportation Center, more than one in five Americans 65 years or older no longer drive. This means that most senior members rely on family members to drive them from one place to another. And this can be problematic, especially if you don’t have enough time to drive them around every time they need to go somewhere.

Caring For You Home Care is an in-home care agency for senior family members and dementia patients. We provide transportation services and solutions to make sure that your loved ones safely reach their destination.

Why Transportation Services are Important for Senior Dementia Patients?

Many senior patients don’t leave the house as often as they used to. This is because they can’t drive due to mobility and age-related issues. Not getting out of the house for long and being unable to meet their friends and loved ones can trigger negative feelings like isolation and anxiety.

This is why it’s important to ensure that your senior loved ones can get out of the house and go places whenever they want with a caregiver they can trust. In addition to this, there are plenty of other chores that require transportation. For instance, they will need transportation for groceries, going to doctor’s appointments, or visiting the bank.

Our caregivers can assist senior members in doing all of these tasks. They can either arrange transportation for you or accompany you while doing these tasks.

What Kind of Transportation Services We Provide?

There are plenty of ways to go from one place to another. You can use anything from public transportation like the bus and metro to a car or a van.

We provide all kinds of transportation for our patients depending on your needs. Our caregivers can drive you themselves to the destination, or they can book you a taxi. You can also use our caregiver’s carpool service to get places.

If your loved one is comfortable taking public transport, we can help the patient get to and from the bus stop. We can even accompany senior members the entire commute via public transportation if they cannot travel alone and tend to forget their stop.

Simply put we can arrange all kinds of services for you and your loved one to have a better life. Our services encourage senior to live more independently and enjoy social life without depending on anyone to drive them to their destination. We provide the support for the independence they are seeking, with compassion and care.

At Caring For You Home Care, we understand that there are countless tasks when looking after someone with dementia and it’s not always possible to do everything by yourself. This is why we provide our clients with services like personal care, physical assistance, transportation, companionship, household chores, and more.
